Sarandon Slams American War Coverage

IMDB.com ^ | 4-10-2003

[Paul Atreides]

Outspoken actress Susan Sarandon has lashed out at American TV coverage of the war in Iraq - claiming viewers are being subjected to pro-US President George W. Bush propaganda. The Banger Sisters star says it wasn't until she was on location in Toronto, Canada, last winter that it became clear to her the conflict was being falsely reported in her home country. She says, "I was in Canada when this was happening and if you're outside the country you get a very different perspective on the way things are working. You get news from around the world." The vocal anti-war protestor also brought a new issue to the fore - claiming billions of dollars are being cut from American war veterans' benefits in order to pay for the war. She continues, "The thing I want to focus on now is making sure that the veterans of these wars and of wars past do not suffer from those budget cuts that this administration has put into the budget, which is huge, $45 billion I believe it is over the next 10 years."

She's only believes it when it follows her worldview. Please Susan, just move out of the country that you hate so much.

[sheik yerbouty]

The has been, harridan should stay in Al Qanada.

[Beck_isright]

Why these "stars" are not arrested for their obvious abuse of controlled substances is way beyond my grasp.

[Mister Magoo]

Susan - Even AL-JAZEERA showed the jubilant Iraqis' celebrations. If you don't weep for the thousands of Iraqis tortured and raped over the past thirty years, who will you weep for?

[x1stcav]

Dear Susan:

Don't concern yourself with veteran's affairs. We'll take care of our own. Bitch.

[annyokie]

Yo! Susan!

[netmilsmom]

Wow, this lady is deluded. Ever watch CBC news? It's nothing but liberal dribble. It just looks like the real world to her because it agrees with her view.

[Atlas Sneezed]

"...it wasn't until she was on location in Toronto, Canada, last winter that it became clear to her the conflict was being falsely reported in her home country."

STAY THERE!

[Deb]

She's absolutely right about the international coverage being 99% anti-Bush, anti-war & anti-American. Only thing is...they're ALL LYING MARXISTS!!!

So, of course, SS wants US coverage to mirror that of the rest of the World.

[ibme]

it wasn't until she was on location in Toronto, Canada, last winter that it became clear to her the conflict was being falsely reported

What? She didn't now how to turn the dial?

[Paul Atreides]

Is that Judy Woodruff, when she saw The Statue coming down?

[Windcatcher]

Susan, your career is SO dead. I think I'll echo Charlie Daniels here. I'll never watch anything bearing your name ever again. Till your dying day, I hope you enjoy the utter demise of your career in the knowledge that millions of Americans like me will never support you in the future. Your name is a blight, a curse upon our culture which will serve as eternal reminder of the scum that inhabits our country.

[Arkinsaw]

Don't concern yourself with veteran's affairs. We'll take care of our own. Bitch.

She can feel which way the wind is blowing and is trying to tack back towards reality on the backs of the soldiers.

[Rocky]

Yes, you can hear anti-American news around the world. Everybody hates a winner. Especially the pampered leftists in America. But there may be a new wind blowing in this country, a change in the public's mindset, a willingness on the part of the normally silent ones to stand up and be counted. Then perhaps the vocal leftists will be shamed and silenced. I am hoping so.

Sept 11, 2001
Afghanistan (Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda, Taliban)
Iraq (Saddam, torture, WMD, terrorist camps)

Let's roll.

Outspoken actress Susan Sarandon has lashed out at American TV coverage of the war in Iraq - claiming viewers are being subjected to pro-US President George W. Bush propaganda.

Only a demented, commie pinko fool would make such a statement regarding the always LIBERAL all the time coverage of American TV.

[rageaholic]

Bah, all her credentials are silicone.

[soozla]

"She continues, "The thing I want to focus on now is making sure that the veterans of these wars and of wars past do not suffer from those budget cuts that this administration has put into the budget...."

Your freekin' halo just blinds us.....you are a legend in your own mind........

[Paul Atreides]

The left thinks that because FNC is trouncing the DNC outlets, that it somehow means that all of the news outlets are part of some White House takeover.

Is it any wonder that Saddamwood is filled with people who have multiple marriages/partners, bastard kids, and therapy bills that equal the GDP of a third world nation?
